Chief Justice Roberts, we were told, was sitting on them. Not any longer.More than a dozen ethics complaints were filed against Kavanaugh in his former court, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. DC Circuit Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson and the Circuit Judicial Council — Chief Judge Merrick Garland recused himself — had asked Roberts to transfer the complaints to another circuit, a request that's in line with how federal courts in recent years have dealt with high-profile ethics cases; judges who previously asked for transfers cited a desire to avoid conflict-of-interest issues.

That's good. Roberts isn't quite as corrupt as I imagined him to be. But at this point, I wonder why he chose that particular court.* He was on Trump's list of potential SCOTUS nominees, so we can be sure he's very conservative.The Kavanaugh complaints will now go to the 10th Circuit, which is based in Denver and covers six states in the western United States. Roberts' Oct. 10 letter to 10th Circuit Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich indicates that the DC Circuit asked him to transfer15 complaints — the earliest transfer request was made Sept. 20, and the latest was made Oct. 5.
Can we call him Tim Tym?
UPDATE 10/22: Finally someone has reported on the choice of Tymkovich. It seems Judge Roberts IS as corrupt as I thought he was.
